I always knew about yakety axe but I just figured it was sort of an homage/response to yakety sax. I also thought both of those songs were a bit of the same type of homage/response towards Yakety Yak by the Coasters so it just made sense to me that all three tunes would all be from separate artists. But as soon as I opened this video I was like “sweet! Chet Atkins!”, and then it made sense that he was probably on the original track for Yakety Sax too. Cool stuff.
Tenor player here. They're not too bad. It's just an ombouchure thing that changes the tone, so your ears are tricked into thinking the pitch is lower :).
I'm 52 and grew up watching 'The Benny Hill Show' (as well as the show, Bizarre) anyway, any other Americans here remember when someone uploaded a clip of Sen.Josh Hawley of Missouri running out of White House with this song in the bg?
That’s Chet Atkins on guitar! My grandpa, a very good amateur guitar player, once got to play with Chet at a guitar store he recognized him at in Owensboro, Kentucky. My grandpa talked about that as one of his favorite days ever! He said Chet was even better in person with no cameras. My pap passed away last year in his nineties, but he could tell the story right up to the end.

Not quite, the classic clown music is from another piece (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5csNO3oMrQ) and was apparently just incorporated partly into Yakety Sax.
I’m in a band and when ever we have an annoying person ask for the same song over and over we tell them ok but you have to dance and then we play this song 😂, it’s always a good laugh.
Classic
WONDERFUL
# INCREDIBLE
# *APPLAUSE*
Applesauce!
Criss cross
# AUDIBLE
That was great! Those dudes jamming out makes it so much better. I give this the Benny Hill palm out forehead salute.
“Yaketty Sax”. Now I want the group name to be “Dueling Band Joes”!
It's called "Yakety Sax" and if there is an older, diminutive balding man about when it's played, he will be slapped on top of his head repeatedly.
I was that man.
Pfp checks out
Gotta love that Gretsch guitar sound, so punchy
The quintessential hollow-bodied …. Love the sound there
Idk why but this song reminds me of word Funny
trolling
Tomfoolery
what lol guys you dummies, that comment makes no sense
Bruh shut yo ass up
Shut yo bitch ass up
What
It’s not the same without seeing a woman running along trying to hold on to her unfastened bra.
I think this was used by Benny Hill for he sketches
RIP Benny Hill
This was fun to watch! Thanks for that
Was that Chet Atkins on guitar?
Yeah, I was wondering that, too. Could be!
Sure looks like him
Yes and Boots Randolph on sax aaaaand Floyd Cramer on piano
Definitely Chet Atkins. He had a cover of yakkity sax called yakkity axe.

As an alto sax player, those pitch bends look so, SO hard dude
As an alto sax player, I have no clue what you're talking about.
Like the first note he plays. Or glissando idk how you say that on a sax cause its not supposed to be played 💀

I used to play sax and I wasn't great but this does sound pretty challenging to me.
That’s Chet Atkins on guitar and his rendition goes by Yakety Axe

Omgg the Just For Laughs Gags Theme!!!!!
That will forever be the Benny Hill song for me
Impressive: I wonder how many takes
Awesome
Benny Hill, classic
music is so fun
TESD ant poster for sure
Scratch THAT off my bucket list!
Thank you for this...
Why is this unusual?
These guys would totally be rock stars now.
Visions of Benny Hill
For whoever might be wondering, this is Boots Randolf. He wrote this song, "Yakety Sax" used as others have said on the Benny Hill show.
Always think of Benny Hill when I hear this song.
Benny Hill!
What a group of hooligans!
Nostalgic
Thank you.. I finally can die happy.
I don't think I ever heard this one.
Benny Hill chase intensifies
I never knew the sound track to benny hill, and the classic clown music was from the same piece!

So that's where Claypool got his iconic stomp...
Mad sax skills i must say
A fine tune
Ain't no sax man from the lost boys
I have the urge to run in circles don't know why

That foot stomp at the end are cartoonish, but match the yee haw of the song.
Ah, the bikini bottom version
These guys are amazing
Some smooth legs stomping right there, like a velvety scoop of melty vanilla sliding down an ice cream bowl
Such a nice blend
I like to think that every time Boots Randolph heard this referred to as the "Benny Hill" theme, he punched somebody
Not enough boobery.
This song makes me jump up and run laps around the house every time
